ICC Message - Team names for the Super Eight stage are indicative based on the top two teams from the Group Stage qualifying. If these two teams do qualify they will be seeded in position 1 or 2 as specified regardless of whether they finish first or second in their group. For example, if South Africa wins Group A and Australia comes second, for the purposes of the Super Eights, South Africa will still be A2 and Australia will be A1. If, for example, Scotland qualifies instead of Australia, Scotland will become A1
In that case why all teams need to play League matches? What is the outcome of performance if India, England, South Africa, West Indies won all the matches?
From the beginning, ICC is insulting India by rating least ranks? Even for Players also.
Surprise England is better than India as per ICC rating? England won only 4 matches in VB series, they lost completely against SL, lost series in India!
I feel ICC is only for White people not for performers.

maharajan don't feel that bad. Note that A1, A2 etc, are not the rankinging. They are just lables.
At the league mages stage, they put the teams as per ICC rankings of "draw day" several months back. And super 8 stage, the kept the same lables, they never mean that India never win all the matches Also they never mean that bangladesh does reach the super 8th.
If bangladesh reaches super 8, it will get the lable of srilanka (B1) or India (B2) which ever leaves tournament.
Read ICC rules clearly. I accept it is bit confusion. But their main intention is to laydown whole scedule including super 8, so that they can scedule big matches on week-end and make more money out of TV/sponsership. Best example is with these labling they decided India pakistan match on Sunday and can sell the broadcasting right for big money. If india pak match comes on weekday, they don't get that much of money.
